NVFS Back to School Drive

Support the Northern Virginia Family Service Back to School Drive. Now through the first week of August, NVFS is accepting donations, in the form of monetary contributions or backpacks and school supplies to help students prepare for this school year. 

For every $1 you contribute, NVFS can purchase $2-$4 of school supplies for the drive. If you can contribute to this effort - and like the idea of your donation being multiplied - please give by August 5th to ensure your gift is multiplied for the drive! 

If you are interested in donating backpacks and supplies, please refer to the drop-off dates and location below. Currently, we are in great need of larger-sized backpacks for middle and high school students. Gender-neutral colors are preferable. For a full list of supplies needed for the drive, please click here.

If you would like to donate, please click here. Checks are also accepted and can be made payable to Northern Virginia Family Service, Attn: Back-to-School Drive, 10455 White Granite Drive, Oakton, VA 22124.

Drop-off Dates & Times: 
Thursday, August 1, 3-6 p.m. 
Friday, August 2, 3-6 p.m.
